  1. ANTE TODO • A reflexive verb is used to indicate that the subject does something to or for himself or herself. • In other words, it “reflects” the action of the verb back the subject. Reflexive verbs always use reflexive pronouns. SUBJECTREFLEXIVE VERB Joaquínse ducha por la mañana.

  2. ¡ATENCIÓN! • Except for se, reflexive pronouns have the same forms as direct and indirect object pronouns. • Se is used for both singular and plural subjects —there is no individual plural form: Pablo se lava. Ellos se lavan.

  3. The pronoun se attached to an infinitive identifies the verb as reflexive: lavarse. • When a reflexive verb is conjugated, the reflexive pronoun agrees with the subject. Me afeito. Te despiertas a las siete.

  4. Like object pronouns, reflexive pronouns generally appear before a conjugated verb. • With infinitives and present participles, they may be placed before the conjugated verb or attached to the infinitive or present participle. Ellos se van a vestir. Ellos van a vestirse. They are going to get dressed. Nos estamos lavando las manos. Estamos lavándonos las manos. We are washing our hands.

  5. ¡ATENCIÓN! • When a reflexive pronoun is attached to a present participle, an accent mark is added to maintain the original stress: bañando bañándose afeitando afeitándose

  9. COMPARE & CONTRAST • Unlike English, a number of verbs in Spanish can be reflexive or non-reflexive. If the verb acts upon the subject, the reflexive form is used. If the verb acts upon something other than the subject, the non-reflexive form is used. Compare these sentences. Lola lava los platos. Lola se lava la cara. • As the preceding sentences show, reflexive verbs sometimes have different meanings than their non-reflexive counterparts. For example, lavar means to wash, while lavarse means to wash oneself, to wash up.

  10. ¡ATENCIÓN! • Because you learned how to form the preterite of non-reflexive regular verbs in Estructura 6.3, you also know how to form the preterite of the common reflexive verbs in the list, with the exception of the stem-changing –ir verbs, irse and ponerse. • You will learn more preterite forms such as those of the verb ir (Estructura 7.3), stem-changing –ir verbs and poner.

  11. ¡ATENCIÓN! • Parts of the body or clothing are generally not referred to with possessives, but with the definite article. La niña se quitó los zapatos. Necesito cepillarme los dientes.
